We are excited to announce the first grant awarded by The Progressive Bitcoiner 🎉
After a rigorous review & application process, our selection committee has chosen @nprofile…s58h with an award of 1,000,000 sats
Bitcoin Chama is a rural-based Bitcoin community dedicated to building a self-reliant Bitcoin ecosystem in rural Kenya by empowering youths through different projects. Bitcoin Chama consists of chamas (clans) that collectively own and operate the projects.
They are bringing bitcoin payments to their community using feature phones thanks to Machankura wallet. This allows any member of the community, regardless of literacy or tech-savviness, to send, receive, and save Bitcoin without an internet connection
TPB grant funding is helping support @nprofile…s58h in the following ways:
• Expand agricultural production
• Onboard new local merchants
• Run hands-on Bitcoin education days
• Document a model others can replicate
To learn more check out Bitcoin Chama at bitcoinchama.com

🚨The Progressive Bitcoiner, Inc welcomes Jason Maier @npub1dc8…jwqd as our Director of Education 📚
Many of you will know Jason as a teacher, speaker and author of “A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin.”
Serving on the TPB board, Jason is increasing his involvement with TPB, Inc to lead our education efforts across the organization, including written and media materials, workshops and in person education, and beyond. Given Jason’s track record and expertise teaching and breaking down complex ideas, like Bitcoin, for everyday people, we can think of no one better to lead these efforts! 👏

Let’s break down Governor Hobbs veto decision on 1025 further. This decision, it turns out, is quite detrimental to Arizonans looking for greater returns on their retirement investments.
Arizonas retirement fund (annualized):
1-Year Return: +9.0%
3-Year Return: +6.1%
5-Year Return: +8.5%
10-Year Return: +7.6%
Bitcoin returns (annualized):
1-Year Return: +153.1%
3-Year Return: +21.93%
5-Year Return: +66.56%
10-Year Return: +79.02%
What is untested about Bitcoin in its 16 year history to $2 trillion market cap and global adoption? What “tests” would Bitcoin need to pass to satisfy the governor? As Bitcoin grows in value, its volatility also decreases (as we’ve seen recently being even less volatile than major stock indexes).
Not to mention, investing in Bitcoin doesn’t carry the same risks as investing in volatile companies dealing with global and political affairs. Bitcoin is an appropriate and responsible savings vehicle for retirement funds and for citizens looking to preserve and protect their wealth.
We hope the governor, and leaders across the United States, see the benefits of Bitcoin, including its particular ability to be a great savings vehicle with its global, hard cap, and secure properties. Too many Democrats are against or on the sidelines still against this asset.

🚨A statement from Executive Director @nprofile…a3nl here at The Progressive Bitcoiner about our use of the word progressive and our status as a nonpartisan 501c3 nonprofit 🗣️
Progressive values over partisan politics
The Progressive Bitcoiner, Inc is a nonprofit organization that explores Bitcoin through the lens of progressive values—focusing on social good, environmental sustainability, and economic inclusion. While we engage with issues that matter to progressives, we are not a partisan organization and do not align with any political party. Our mission is to educate, inform, and foster discussion for those who resonate with these values, regardless of political affiliation. Bitcoin is for everyone, and we believe in examining its potential through a perspective that prioritizes fairness, sustainability, and community well-being.
We hope you’ll join us on this mission, and see it as a wide tent toward broadening adoption of Bitcoin, not furthering partisan divides or discussions.

ROSS IS FREE 🙌
We’re making a point to express our gratitude and enthusiasm that Ross is now free. Many in progressive and mainstream media circles lambast this as a disastrous and corrupt decision for a drug dealing criminal.
But if you’re a progressive who supports decriminalization or legalization of drugs, allow yourself to consider the following:
Ross created Silk Road, a platform that reduced street violence by allowing people to safely and anonymously buy drugs online. While the platform had its flaws, his life sentence without parole is shockingly disproportionate for a nonviolent, first-time offender.
Pardoning Ross isn’t about excusing his mistakes, which even he admits…
It’s about addressing excessive sentencing, reforming our justice system, and aligning with the progressive values of fairness, rehabilitation, and harm reduction in drug policy.
And what Ross did for bitcoin, by showing the world the largest example of bitcoin as peer to peer payments, permissonless transactions without traditional financial rails, the important of privacy and anonymity, can’t be overstated.
And now, the cypherpunk ethos is back in the mainstream for Bitcoin. Let’s continue to focus on and build for resistance and freedom money! ✊

Happy #mlkday2025. May we never forget Dr. King’s fight for social and economic justice and equality for all, and carry forward his legacy with the same charisma and determination that tomorrow will be a better day.
We happen to think Dr. King would’ve loved Bitcoin, too 🧡✊

One of our key challenges at The Progressive Bitcoiner is helping progressives stay focused on Bitcoin’s transformative potential for global good, rather than being sidetracked by narratives surrounding billionaires and Wall Street adoption.
While it is available to anyone, Bitcoin was created to give people a currency and system not reliant on central bank control which all too often bails out corrupt billionaires and corporations.
You see? Bitcoin is the people’s money. You can get some today, right now, for less than a penny, and start using it.

Too bad none of bitcoin’s censorship resistant, permissionless, resistance money, human rights and freedom promoting qualities work if it dips below $100k!
Oh wait
